Player Item Descriptions
Java mod listed for Minecraft 26.x. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.

PID (Player Item Descriptions / player_item_descriptions) adds a new text field in the anvil so players can add descriptions to their items!
Adding a description has the same cost as changing the name of an item, and largely the mechanics are the same; writing a blank description will remove the description from items.
This mod works by adding a new data component for tooltips that renders after the name of the item, and before everything else, player_item_descriptions:custom_description.
This mod was inspired by a comment on this Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/1i83z7d/im_a_developer_what_ridiculous_minecraft_mod/
